I didn't really do anything on my actual birthday. We are having a Superman-themed party today at Becky and John's house with burritos! Sarah got me "The Office" season 1 on DVD and a Superman action figure!
Sarah is on salary now, so that should help bring in a little more money. She had her annual review and it went very well; they said that they will have another review in a couple of months and she should get a raise then. I have been at my job for a year and four months and I am still waiting for my annual review.
Sarah and I are still jogging, hiking, and doing other exercises to lose weight, and we are doing well. We went hiking last weekend and found a great swimming spot. The trail was a little difficult in some spots, but the scenery and trail was great.
Steve has some weight to lose too, but he doesn't do anything but sleep and keep us awake when we are trying to sleep.

And now it's time for "Common Errors in English" for Sarah. Today, the letter "F": Frankenstein
"Frankenstein" is the name of the scientist who creates the monster in Mary Shelley's novel. The monster itself has no name, but is referred to popularly as "Frankenstein's monster."
BONUS:
FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES
Another example of the oral transformation of language by people who don’t read much. “For all intents and purposes” is an old cliché which won’t thrill anyone, but using the mistaken alternative is likely to elicit guffaws.
